"Omg combat is to slow"
Working as intended.
"Omg this is boring I have nothing else to do"
No friends need help? No random people need help? No other classes or crafts for you to level?
"Omg this noob asked a question in duty finder... so I left."
Really?
"Omg this noob watched cutscenes... so I left."
Really?
"Omg this noob didn't know the fight perfectly the very first time they ran the instance and they didn't watch videos before running it"
Come on now...
"Omg this noob asked a question in chat... I told the noob to google it."
You must have a lot of friends...
"Omg this guy showed up to an instance in the gear that it is was designed for... noob wanted us to carry him"
Why are you people even playing online games?
It is a social game...

I remember when I was in one of the guildhests where you have to kill all the monsters at the same exact time or they came back...and I didn't know that... I tried reading the hint at the beginning but the 3 other people that joined the duty finder with me took off towards the monsters and I felt rushed and went with them...
I didn't kill everything at the same time and was greeted with "NOOB kill them all together" "You should quit. You're bad noob" "Can't you read? Why are you even here?" (I probably cleaned up the grammar a bit).
I mean..first of all it's a guildhest...It's not like they don't give you WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH time to finish it even if you make a bunch of mistakes... Secondly, any of those 3 could have taken a 20-30 seconds to explain things to me and we would have saved the 3-5 minutes we wasted due to lack of communication + the 2-3 minutes it took for this guy to tell me how bad I am. -
10-10-2013, 04:59 PMRochetmOh so that is what they are doing... Good to know.Quote:

10-10-2013, 05:04 PMKasumuniYou are absolutely right. Helping people is what brings mmo players together. And the thing is....those people will never forget that small 10-15 minutes you helped them with.Quote:

No incentive to be nice; no consequences for being a dickwad. Guess what happens in most online games?
Solution? Play with people you know. -

If it's easy it means less. Caps and a grind don't make things hard, they make things take more time. If you aren't part of a person's social circle you easily become an object of the game... as you aren't struggling to achieve anything with them. You are doing 1 of your 8 runs a week with them never to be seen again. If you aren't 100% perfect you are wasting their time as a random.
There is little incentive to be friendly or helpful as you rarely get any positive feedback from doing so the way the game is set up.
So here we are. These things aren't really the cause of internet assholeisim, but are what is in this game that enables it. -
10-10-2013, 05:14 PMAccountBannedTough for me..most of the people I've been playing games with for the last 7 years are all still playing call of duty an refuse to play these games...no big deal right? I just gotta find like-minded people.Quote:

We should chatise the "elite" and point out every mistake they make instead of bashing the new guy. cause most of the so called elite are horrible players. And stop jumping on bandwagon when they start to bash the new guy defend them no matter what.Quote:

I was told over and over again that I wouldn't make it through Turn 1 and 2 of Bahamuts coil as a WAR tank. Guess what, I didn't listen to them and a week later I found a group to do Coil with and we're now on Turn 4 and progressing quickly.
The point is that we need more people that will make a stance, and not bend so easily when it comes to this type of behavior being spread around so easily in the MMO community. -
10-10-2013, 05:27 PMKityaPersonally, I will answer all questions to the best of my abilities. However, I've seen a number of questions in chat that have been something like "Where is X mob located?" or "Where do I go next for this random quest?" that I personally don't know (or don't remember) the answer to and no one is responding to them. In cases like this I will google it for them (the benefit of having two monitors is never having to tab out! :D) but then I'll suggest that, in the future, they do so themselves for these kinds of questions because people often won't know the answers off the tops of their heads.Quote:

I pointed out he had no clue, he continued to bash me and finally he left. The two dps in the group never said a word. Of course waiting on a tank takes forever so I go bored and warned them to step back because I was going to start pulling. They decided to join in... Turns out the two dps where very good players that knew their jobs and followed my marks exactly... every pull from the first boss to he last boss. We cleared most of the instance with just the three of us and had a bit of fun doing it. We got stuck waiting for a tank on the final boss because it was just too much...
Anyway the point is they never said a word in my defense. They let him bash me even though he was clearly wrong. -
10-10-2013, 05:34 PMRochetmI do something similar...I have a laptop beside me most of the time. I also recommend xivdb to everyone because it is generally useful.Quote:

Here is what you do when people get mad at you for watching cut scenes.
Keep watching the cut scene. If they leave, its on them. -
10-10-2013, 05:48 PMRochetmWell at this point it is a very stupid thing to say. Does anyone honestly think that a person playing an online game, able to chat the online game, and figure out they need to find something the online game... won't know what google is?Quote:
